“…These changes are related to losses of ecological and water absorption capacities as well as damage to the historical value and scenic beauty of cultural landscapes (Bastian et al, 2006). Two main trends were recognized: intensification and extensification (Antrop, 2005; Van Eetevelde and Antrop, 2009).…”

Abstract:The landscape of the Czech Republic currently faces droughts that are caused by several factors. One of the reasons for drought is landscape development and land cover changes. Changes in water and wetland areas and streams were studied by comparing old military maps and the present state. Water and wetland areas in fertile lowlands significantly decreased over time; the landscape was continuously dried out with the aim of increasing agricultural and woody production. While water and wetland areas occupied nearly one-third of the study area (Nové Dvory and Žehušice micro-regions in Central Bohemia) at the end of the 18 th century, the present share of these areas is only 3.5%. There was a decrease of approximately 10% in each period, and nearly all of these areas disappeared by the end of the 19 th century. Water and wetland areas were changed primarily to arable land. The length of streams decreased by the end of the 19 th century. Drainage and irrigation channels were built during the 20 th century, and although they are only periodic or episodic streams, these channels increased the total length of streams.Key words: streams, still waters, wetlands, land use changes, drought, central Europe Abstrakt: Krajina České republiky v současnosti čelí nebezpečí sucha, které je způsobeno mnoha faktory. Mezi ně patří změny krajiny a krajinného pokryvu. V článku jsou sledovány změny vodních a mokřadních ploch a délky vodních toků na podkladě starých vojenských mapování a současného stavu. Vodní a mokřadní plochy v nížinách zásadně ubyly a krajina byla vysušována s cílem zvýšit zemědělskou a lesnickou produkci. Zatímco na konci 18. století vodní a mokřadní plochy zaujímaly skoro třetinu sledovaného území Novodvorska a Žehušicka ve středních Čechách, v současnosti je to jen 3,5 %. V každé ze sledovaných period ubylo přibližně 10 % jejich rozlohy, významný úbytek těchto ploch v krajině tak nastal již v 19. století. Vodní a mokřadní plochy byly změněny převážně na ornou půdu. Délka vodních toků poklesla zejména v průběhu 19. století. Současná data ukazují nárůst jejich délky, který je ale způsoben budováním zavodňovacích a odvodňovacích kanálů, jejichž délka je také započítána do celkové délky vodních toků, byť nejsou celoročně protékány vodou.

“…Anthropogenic impacts since the early 19th century and particularly during the 20th century, have considerably disturbed the state of equilibrium of the landscape and have resulted in rapid landscape change, in loss of diversity and ecological capacities and also in damage to historically valuable cultural landscapes (Petit, Lambin, 2002;Van Eetvelde, Antrop, 2004;Bastian et al, 2006;Demek et al, 2008). The rapidity and magnitude of landscape changes strongly accelerated population increase and a growth in urban areas (Antrop, 2005).…”

The Role of Geographical Landscape Studies for Sustainable Territorial Planning

Abstract:One of the primary objectives of physical geography is to determine how natural phenomena produce specific territorial patterns. Therefore, physical geography offers substantial scientific input into territorial planning for sustainability. A key area where physical geography can contribute to land management is in the delimitation of landscape units. Such units are fundamental to formal socio-economic zoning and management in territorial planning. However, numerous methodologies-based on widely varying criteria-exist to delineate and map landscapes. We have selected five consolidated methodologies with current applications for mapping the landscape to analyse the different role of physical geography in each: (1) geomorphological landscape maps based on landforms; (2) geosystemic landscape maps; (3) Landscape Character Assessment; (4) landscape studies based on visual landscape units; (5) landscape image-pair test. We maintain that none of these methodologies are universally applicable, but that each contributes important insights into landscape analysis for land management within particular biogeophysical and social contexts. This work is intended to demonstrate that physical geography is ubiquitous in contemporary landscape studies intended to facilitate sustainable territorial planning, but that the role it plays varies substantially with the criteria prioritized.
